Erosion Resistant Coatings

Acree Technologies has developed an erosion resistant coating that is extremely effective against airborne particle impact, erosion and wear. The coating was designed using Finite Element (FE) computer modeling to optimize its properties. It consists of a very hard and tough ceramic multilayer coating system. The coating has been tested extensively for erosion resistance under a wide variety of particle impact angles and speeds on a number of substrates. The coating is thin, so dimensional tolerances are not affected. Because of its hardness, toughness and ease of application, this coating can be used on virtually any component suffering from erosion or wear. Complex shapes can be coated because Acree uses a specialized non-line-of-sight coating process. Any aircraft or vehicle that has a turbine engine or rotary compressor that is suffering from erosion due to airborne particle impact will benefit from this coating.
